An official listing confirmed the King of the Hill reboot episode count, hinting at its eventual release date.

King of the Hill originally aired on Fox for 13 seasons from 1997 to 2010, maintaining steady ratings and critical acclaim throughout its run.

After being officially ordered by Hulu in 2023, production on the King of the Hill reboot wrapped in October 2024.

Hulu’s revival will age up key characters, with Bobby Hill entering adulthood, while also navigating the challenge of replacing late voice actors like Johnny Hardwick.

A new listing on the Writers Guild of America (WGA) website notes that the King of the Hill revival will have 10 episodes in its first season.

The listing details episode credits for Season 14, set to air sometime this year, with 10 episodes written by a mix of returning and new writers.

      Unknown, though when it happened they revealed he had done some recording already. Though they didn’t go into detail so it could be a couple lines or half the season

        Hubs thinks they’ll retire the char. Personally i think it would be a greater honour to keep him going. You could very easily have Dale decide in the age of voiceprints to refuse to give the gubment that data and voluntarily go mute and invent his own sign language
